First I've heard of it. You're going to have to provide a lot more
information if you want us to believe it's a Postgres problem.

The only occurrence of the string "bad integer" in current postgres
sources is

src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/errors.properties: postgresql.res.badint:Bad Integer {0}

which appears to be an exception thrown only by toInt(). Complaining
because someone tried to coerce an oversize value to integer is not
obviously a bug...
